1916 Map of Wind Gap

Rural life in early twentieth-century Northampton and Monroe counties is documented through a dense network of country schools, such as Mexico School, Michael Valley School, and the Steckel School. Small settlements like Brodheadsville and Kunkletown served as local hubs, while the landscape is dotted with water-powered infrastructure like Haynes Mill and Sours Mill. The map also captures the early recreational character of the region at Lake Mineola and Lake Poponoming.
